The degree divide

The degree divide refers to the gap between those who have a college degree and those who do not, especially in terms of economic opportunities and social mobility. Typically, individuals with higher education tend to access better jobs, higher incomes, and more stable careers. Conversely, lacking a degree can limit these opportunities and contribute to economic disparities. This divide highlights how education can influence life chances and underscores ongoing issues related to accessibility and equality in higher education. Addressing the degree divide is important for creating a more equitable society.
